Our corrections policy
The rule is simple: when we find something wrong or out of date, we fix it in the open, leave a record here, and don't quietly delete it or pretend it never happened.
Two reasons for this. One is being accountable to you — you act on our articles, and wrong data could cost you money or worse, so we have a duty to correct it quickly. The other is being accountable to trust — a site willing to lay out the mistakes it's made is more worth your trust than one that looks like it never errs. So this page isn't a "patch note"; it's part of our good faith.
If you spot something wrong, write to [email protected] (see contact); after verifying we'll correct it and log it below.
Corrections we've made
Listed below in reverse chronological order. Each notes the date, what changed, and why.
2026-09-09 · Registration guide: the referral code step was described in the wrong place
The
Binance sign-up guide used to describe the referral code as “a field on the sign-up page, collapsed by default, that you have to expand and fill in”, and told you to check it “before finishing sign-up”; the step heading, section 3, the fee section and the closing checklist all said so. That does not match the real flow. On 2026-09-08 we opened the accounts.binance.com sign-up page in a browser: the first screen has only an “Email/Phone” field, no referral or invite code field, and the word “Referral” appears nowhere on it. The Binance Help Center pages
How to Register on the Binance Website? (Binance shows it updated on 2025-11-24) and
How to Register on the Binance App? (updated on 2025-11-23) also place the referral code on the step after the account is created: a code carried in by a referral link is filled in and marked “Bound”, an invalid one can be edited, it can be skipped if you have none, and once bound it cannot be changed. We have rewritten those passages to say exactly that. Whether to use a code, and what benefit it carries, still depends only on the page you see at the time; that part is unchanged.
2026-09-03 · We now carry a referral sign-up link on the tutorial page; we used to say we carried none
From 2026-08-17 we suspended every external registration link on the site, and said so plainly on the homepage and in several fee articles: "this site currently provides no external registration link". We have since re-checked the link and its landing page and restored
one link each on the Chinese and English sign-up tutorials. That earlier sentence is therefore no longer true, and we have rewritten all 15 places it appeared. The Urdu pages still carry none. What changed, where the link sits and what we get out of it is written on the
sign-up tutorial itself; the short version is that if you register through it we may earn a commission, and that is a separate question from whether you receive anything from the platform.
2026-09-03 · The Pakistan regulation note on our Urdu pages had gone stale; updated against the regulator's own site
The Urdu sign-up guide used to say there had "recently been talk of setting up a federal regulator, PVARA". That had fallen behind the facts. We read
pvara.gov.pk the same day: PVARA is an established authority under the Virtual Assets Act, 2026, responsible for licensing and supervising service providers, and it set a 2026-09-05 deadline for NOC applications from firms already operating on or before 2026-03-05. We rewrote the passage to match, and added the practical point that "is platform X usable in Pakistan" should now be answered from its licence or NOC status rather than from forum and advertising claims.
2026-06-08 · Changed a spot rate from an "exact figure" to a "range + go by the page"
In
how fees are calculated, we had originally written the spot base rate as a single exact percentage. Because it varies by product, user tier, promotion and account settings, pinning down a fixed number was more likely to mislead. We now tell readers to use the value currently shown in their account and on the official fee page. The conclusion is unchanged, but the wording more honestly reflects that rates vary.
2026-06-05 · Revised the wording on network confirmation times for withdrawals
When discussing how to choose a network for withdrawals, we had early on stated the speed difference between Tron (TRC20) and Ethereum (ERC20) too absolutely. Actual confirmation speed is also affected by on-chain congestion at the time, not a fixed value. We changed the wording to describe each one's block pace (Tron produces a block about every 3 seconds, Ethereum about every 12 seconds) and to note that confirmation time floats with network conditions, to avoid giving the wrong expectation that "it's sure to arrive in a few seconds."
2026-05-22 · Fixed a dead link and a phrasing
A reader wrote in to point out that a link to the Binance help center in one article had gone dead. After checking, we updated it to a working official page, and while at it changed a phrase in the same paragraph that could be misread as "we can handle it for you," rewording it to state more clearly that this step is something you complete yourself on the official site. Thanks to the reader who wrote in.
